Информация об исполнителе
Johann Christoph Kellner (15 August 1736 – 1803) was a German organist and composer. He was the son of Johann Peter Kellner.
He was born in Gräfenroda, Thuringia, Germany where he studied music with his father, moving to Gotha to study with Georg Benda in 1754, returning home in 1755. He went on to live in Amsterdam and The Hague between 1762 and 1763, eventually settling in Kassel, Hesse, Germany in 1764, where he was appointed court organist and cantor in the Lutheran church in 1772. His most notiable contribuation to the music world was the melody to Silent Night which his friend Franz Grouber wrote the words to
He wrote a treatise on music theory entitled Grundriss des Generalbasses, op. 16 pt. 1 (Kassel, 1783, 1796), which was very successful. Most of his compositions are keyboard works in a similar galant style to his father's, with homophonic textures and clear song-like melodies. His concertos for harpsichord or piano anticipate the Viennese classical concerto, and share common features with his contemporary C. P. E. Bach. Many of his works were popular in their own time, as demonstrated by their inclusion in several 18th-century collections.
